just got a 1997 ford explore for a winter car, with a 109,000 miles on it red for $1,100, v6, has a slight vibration but you get what u paid for. the only problem with the car is that the stereo says that it has a CD player, but i cant find any slot where the cd goes. everytime i press the cd button it it say DJ. anyone know if it is hidden somewhere in the truck or it just dont have one? thanks

 

uhh ohh an Exploder!..lol I have no clue on that one. Does it have a cd changer under the back seat?

 

whats so bad about the exploders lol, jw cause i havent got a clue about these trucks
checked in the back seat, in the back,center console.....nothing

 

There is no cd slot...they put it just incase you install a cd changer or something.

 

I have a 1996 Explorer V8 AWD for a winter truck. My girlfriend hasa 00 Mountaineer(better version of the Explorer)and she has a factory CD changer in her center console. It had a aftermarket cd player in the dash though when she bought it so it doesnt work. Maybe previous owner removed it.

I would definately get an aftermarket deck anyway. I love my Alpine.

my 99 had an eject buttonto the right of the cd slot......and they don't come with cd changers

 

I just bought a 2000 Explorer for a DD a couple weeks ago. 101K miles for $4K, I was happy. I'd been happier with a 97 for $1100 though, thats a hell of a deal.


I'd wondered about my CD player too...it has a slot, but says something like "tune discs," I don't know if it holds multiple discs or not. It doesn't matter, I'll probably never put one cd in it, much less 6.

Also, the 4x4 switch says "Auto, 4X4 low, 4X4 high." I take it this is all wheel drive, that automatically swithces to 4x4 when the tires start to slip?

 

Nice beater....I just never seen someone so excited over an explorer
